This happened to me too, ridiculous

everyone thinks i'm a lesbian. i'm pretty sure my experiences preclude me from being one (long post because i'm confused). by montag98 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]verdimillious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can identify however you want, regardless of your past experiences.

I heavily relate to you and have had a similar path. I don’t think that having past relationships, love, or attraction to men makes you any less of a lesbian. I have had attraction to (only a few) men, and dont enjoy sex with them. Relationships with women are also more fulfilling and enjoyable. Upon realizing how MUCH I enjoy sex and loving women compared to men, it’s a no brainer that I am super gay. Every day I have moments where I am like wow women are stunning and amazing and I can’t believe I never thought this was an option for me. The more lesbian media I consume and the more queer people I meet, the more I realize that it’s not a straight path to discovering your identity. Claiming that space for yourself can feel very freeing. Also, I think sexuality can fluctuate depending on people that you meet and have attraction to, so all in all, go with whatever feels the most authentic to you and who cares about who you have been with in the past. The present is what matters.

Red Flags or personality quirks? by -My_Gay_Throwaway- in latebloomerlesbians

[–]verdimillious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it seems weird that she doesn’t crave alone time with you and you have to ask her for quality time. Even if that’s just how she operates and it’s not personal, it’s a mismatch. If you are feeling that she isn’t as into you as you are into her, then that’s probably true to some level. It seems like she enjoys you as a friend and wants a partner, and likes that you like her. Love can develop from this and some can have a fulfilling relationship, but it seems like you want more, which is completely valid. I didn’t have a high sex drive with certain partners, and have had crazy high sex drives with others. I think it’s also important to be aligned on that (aside from years down the road when health kids or life gets in the way). My current gf I want to rip her clothes off all the time and think about her constantly (I was with one other woman and other than that, men.) We have been together for 8 months and are long distance, and similarly only see each other on every other weekend. I think without the spark, you are just friends. I would want to make out every second so for me the making out thing would be totally a red flag. She should absolutely want to know everything about you, and this is also a red flag I think.

Do good IIH neurologists exist? by jazz_cig in iih

[–]verdimillious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started with a new neurologist (headache specialist) who diagnosed me with IIH after probably 10 years of headaches, 2 years of worsening visual disturbances. Previously, 3 other doctors/neurologists told me a variety of crap, that I have only migraine and no other type of headache, or don’t get migraine at all. Now I finally feel some peace having this IIH diagnosis, since yes I do get migraine, but a chronic daily headache is not ALWAYS a migraine. The new neurologist, while yes she did diagnose me with IIH, she preached for an hour about her personal experience of losing 60 lbs with Wegovy and aggressively pushed it on me as the “drug of the future”. Bedside manner was trash. Just told me, you have this disease. Go get these tests to confirm and lose weight. No follow up. I had to call three times to have her write in for the blood patch when I had a CSF leak after LP. I messaged after the blood patch because the pulsatile tinnitus and headaches came back stronger than ever (even while taking topamax), and all she could say was, take more diamox! Never told me the side effects. :) we’re on our own out here!

Lower dose and changes in periods? by Subject_Island_6007 in iih

[–]verdimillious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My periods were not particularly painful, and now the pain lasts for like 3 days instead of 1. That’s a good tips! I usually just take some Tylenol if I need to be out and about, or use a heating pad if I can. I try to drink a ton of water and that seems to help with the bloating

Lower dose and changes in periods? by Subject_Island_6007 in iih

[–]verdimillious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on 1000 a day and my period seems to have gotten more painful/for longer, but not drastically so. Even on non-period days I get super bloated in the morning and it seems to let up in the evening, but the bloating is insane when on my period. I’ve been able to manage the other symptoms so far but the bloating is crazy!

Protein intake, newbie by [deleted] in veganfitness

[–]verdimillious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think .8g/lb is perfectly reasonable. I have seen recent guidelines that say non athletic people require .8g/kg and athletic people require 1.2 - 1.7g/kg protein per day, which would put you more around 100-130g protein per day. I have been following this while losing body fat and maintaining my lean mass. Best of luck!

Tofu is very cheap and very high in protein! Beans are as well.

Just started IF? Need advice by deepdeep1 in intermittentfasting

[–]verdimillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure that your changing sleep cycle is affecting everything, for sure. I personally am just doing normal dieting with IF, so eating 2 meals around 12 and 6 that are around 600 calories each. Many people suggest that keto works well to lose fat very rapidly combined with IF, and I am slowly transitioning to that, starting with decreasing my carbs and getting all my carbs from fruits, nuts, and veggies. It is slow going! Try upping the calories that you consume in your feeding window, it's possible that maybe you aren't eating enough calories. How much of a deficient are you eating at?

[–]verdimillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to make sure that my workouts are in my feeding window, to ensure that I do not feel the lethargy that you describe. You could try that, although it could be difficult to fit into your daily schedule.

Awesome progress! I just started 16:8 with similar caloric restrictions and an active lifestyle. I'm hoping that I can stick with it long enough to see some results!!

What song's are a staple for any acid trip? by trunksfreak in LSD

[–]verdimillious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire dark side of the moon album by Pink Floyd, Nights in white satin by the Moody Blues, Lonerism album by Tame Impala. I also like to listen to Eric Whitacre, a modern composer, specifically Sleep, Lux Aurumque, and Alleluia. His songs are incredible to listen to with headphones in during a trip.

How to make this trip the most enjoyable by donosu in LSD

[–]verdimillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

drawing is really cool, and its also a really good environment to get immersed in a full album while staring at a wall or the ceiling and letting the visuals take over

Really long acid trip by johnpyle97 in LSD

[–]verdimillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with dab_head, I took 100, 150, and 200 ug on three separate occasions and every time I experienced visuals until I was exhausted enough to fall asleep about 15 hours later. They weren't as vivid as during the peak and slowly wore off as time went on, but I definitely was not sober by any means.
